I prefer to use a source with a somewhat solid basis of ranking. CWUR is one of the better ones in terms of using solid formulations.
Here are their Ranking Formulas and 2015 USA Rankings
No stupid cost of attendance or HS guidance counselors influencing the ranking.
It isn't perfect by any stretch...but it is much better than US News and Forbes...despite being lesser known.
ETA: Just noticed that Mizzou and Georgia are right next to each other in these rankings...which is about where I'd put them...about neck and neck.

Kind of weird that it uses medical schools as part of the consideration. You end up with some real anomalies. But I understand the reasoning behind it. I'd just put law and med school in a completely separate bracket

Mizzou isn't even the same stratosphere

You can't be so stupid as to think UGA and Mizzou are even close
